This is my favourite Ron album.Love everything...the cover (strange collage with Ronnie riding a camel),the sound,the songs...my cd is a japanese vinyl replica with the lyrics...and the offer to buy "a beautiful,16 x 20 inch 4-color serigraph on canvass from the original Laurente oil painting.Limited edition,personally signed and numbered by Ron Wood"...anyone have one of this?...anyway the offer expires december 31,1981

It's a great album! Love it.

My very favorite Ronnie album. I saw that add as well, as I have the same version. I wish I woulda known about it back in 81 but I was 5!! That's a steal though - his work nowadays is so friggin expensive.

the album is indeed a joy - Ronnie's first is the one i listen to most,
but yeah this one shakes my tailfeather mighty fine as well

"How can you miss being somewhere that you never been..
And how can you miss seing someone that you never seen..??.."

Priceless... same as Ronald :]

The worst for me. All the others album are so far better than this one. Just my opinion.

Don´t have it but i love I´ve got my own album to do and Gimme some neck...2 great albums for me,comparable to Stones Some Girls for example

I have it.

The title track is f a n t a s t i c.

Great album, good production, mostly good songs and it rocks.

opinions are surprisingly varied on ron's solo albums. It seems like each album has someone saying it's the best, others saying it's the worst. Maybe the first one is exempt from that, but it's interesting that there's no standard narrative about his albums. There used to be one about Slide On This--that it was his best--but I notice that the connoisseurs around here have revised that opinion.

I've got my own...is by far the best one! 1234 has got a good title track and of course the very nice "seven days"

Oops!

I also have the japanese vinyl replica of 1234.
It's an excellent album. It has a few 'fillers' - but the rest of the album makes up for them. Ronnie's first 4 solo albums are maybe the best solo records by any stone

Yes. Seven Days is from Gimme Some Neck. And the best live version from Slide On Live. Dylan's own version sucks.

Dylan's version of 76 is a knockout...

On bootleg? I only know the version from The Bootleg series 1-3 (or was it Biograph?)

That's the one...

Ok, we disagree on that one, don't we.

I think Ronnie sounds too coked up on 1234. It's not my favourite Ronnie album. Songs like Outlaws and the title track are good, but the rest of the songwriting and performances doesn't impress me.

Ronnie's two first albums still stand rock solid as masterpieces. I still like Not For Beginners. Something about the feel of the album...

Pure genius

I had a shitty version someone recorded for me..
So I just ordered an import copy off of amazon.com...
I'll have a better review next week...
